Backslashes get fontified as markup characters in too many situations. In particular, a backslash inside a literal block (e.g. code, math) should just be a literal backslash, not the introducer of an escape sequence.
It might be worthwhile to add some further regression tests here, but the one I did add fails without the fix, and passes with it.
